I have always enjoyed trains and even had a stint where I actually got to ride in locomotives and other commuter cars implementing Positive Train Control at Caltrain. Looking forward to taking Amtrak whenever possible. I've worked out a trip going from Redding to Oakland to attend a soccer match using the Capital Corridor (w/Thruway Bus) in the morning and coming back on the Coast Starlight. Also hoping to do a VIA Rail trip in July.
